<t> The game "Pacific War" (Grigsby SSI 1995) had it set up so there was a percentage chance from 70 to 90 (over 90 experience was a 100% chance) so 5% per experience point of using alternate ordinance. I wouldn't be surprised if this same formula made it into stock WitP, but I can not confirm this ...

Well as I said nothing they said really has anything to do with the discussion at hand. Both admitted that the Japanese got ...

Well, like I said to Mike before I hit the green button on him, when someone is going to approach something like this with a totally closed mind, all you can do is hit the button and move on [;)]

<t> That may be your problem right there then, but I don't know for 100% certain. Zeros have a max range (with tanks) of 14 hexes this is true, but on an escort mission they would time their take-off to arrive on target at the same time as the bombers so minimal waste of fuel. For CAP on the other ...

<t> If you have surface groups escorting, put a handful of float planes on CAP. Just the fact that they are intercepted will ward off a lot of the hits. And if the weather won't let them fly, then you can't get hit either.<br/>
<br/>
There could be other factors as to why your land based CAP didn ...

<t> Explain these 2 things (reasonably):<br/>
<br/>
1) How did the Japanese know the units date and time of the Kiska landings. You presume Japanese intel was useless yet you can't explain how they had this information.<br/>
<br/>
2) How did the allies NOT know that the Japanese had pulled off ...

Enough said then [:D]

I'm not. All I am saying is the Japanese should get SOMETHING. Are you saying they shouldn't?

Midway was the presumed target "AF". It was estimated that 4 carriers would spearhead the assault. <B><s>[b]</s>Now as for allied intel being weaker than historical, I would agree with that statement.<e>[/b]</e></B> The allies <I><s>[i]</s ...

I have already said the allied capibility is below what it should have been. Suggest you know what you are saying before you say it next time

That would actually fall under the anecdotal evidence. It also tells us absolutely nothing about how the information was obtained by the Japanese or whether they even had the information. As someone said before, there weren't that many large ...

Firstly I do like the way you keep asking everyone for documented evidence of their claims while providing nothing but anecdotal evedence of your own. But that is another matter.<br/>

I'm having trouble with your Midway bit. You say that Midway was not a code-breaking success, because if things were different than they were, then it wouldn't have been a success! Oh yeah, and there were some things ...

"No use of portions of parachute units to seize hex's"<br/>
<br/>
I don't think that there should be a rule for this. Sometimes I use paras to seize empty airbase, just before the landing, mainly because it is the only way to occupy an ...

<t> I am not talking about any particular sized raid. I am referring to instances where the fighters (escort) appear as a sweep and then the strike comes in unescorted and gets slaughtered. In other words "the fighters get lost". And usually I am talking about carrier groups (but not in all ...

Right. 100% correct. They attacked in 1s and 2s. In GAME TERMS, this is called "naval search" not "naval attack". I rest my case.
